Brian, you shoulda stopped by if you were in town!! :evil: :evil: :-D J

I travel Hwy 2 over Stevens Pass. At Waterville (elevation 2856) there is a a 6 mile long portion of the hwy that drops down the the Columbia River at Oronda (Elevation 1502) that follows the side of an arrayo, 7-8% grade, and twists and turns than a snake. There is a signat the top that all big rigs must test there breaks before they start the decent. There's an short extra lane coated with black tire marks.

VICK, TEXAS. Vick is at the junction of Farm Road 381 and U.S. Highway 87, four miles south of Eola in west central Concho County. In 1963 the community had a post office, a motel, and two other businesses. A 1984 map showed a cluster of buildings at the site. In 2000 the population was twenty.

Brian, well, I dunno, if that describes the town that your Brother lives in, I wanna live there too. I need that small town town. I grew up in a small town (which these days is not a metropolitan!!!!). I yearn for those small town days. That small town will be a place where I live one day, I am getting so tired of the rat race of where I live, it has changed so much in the past 20 years, I need to get to that dead end road, where it takes me eons to get to the big supermarkets.....have that most wonderful and awesome day, love life.

There are strange things done in the midnight sun by the men who moil for gold. The Arctic trails have their secret tales that would make your blood run cold. The Northern Lights have seen queer sights, but the queerest they ever did see, what the night on the marge of Lake Lebarge, I cremated Sam McGee. Robert Service

.....The greatest changes occur in their country without their cooperation. They are not even aware of precisely what has taken place. They suspect it; they have heard of the event by chance. More than that, they are unconcerned with the fortunes of their village, the safety of their streets, the fate of their church and its vestry. They think that such things have nothing to do with them, that they belong to a powerful stranger called “the government.” They enjoy these goods as tenants, without a sense of ownership, and never give a thought to how they might be improved.....

Ted, OK, I think that is the town that I'm gonna move to, that fine day, :-D ;) :) :) :) I love small town, need small town, want small town. Truly, I see me and my Husband one day, living in the central part of our province, on a dead end road, only a couple of houses, on an acre or two only, no one else living on our property, besides us. My Husband said that he even wanted a moat that all our family would have to cross, if the didn't get them with salt rock first from his rifle. Eeks!!! Kidding. We will be moving one day to a small town, I know that, just when.....have the most wonderful and awesomest days, Cindi

I left out the towns I went through that don't exist anymore, technically. Some didn't even have any buildings still standing.Something Millville, POP 0, although it did have a grain silo at one end of town. Or a mile of reduced speed (35 mph) with a deserted "convience" store midway through, no town name showing but it had a Flying A sign above the glass topped gas pump.

Pssh you city folk. This is my town of 527, I am pretty sure everyone in town's house is in this picture. My house is there. We don't have police...we did have a constable once, but he caught the next town over's fire chief's teenage daughter parking with her boyfriend. He gave them a hard time, so we voted to take his little blue light away. Needless to say, he quit.
